Lateht Informiitloii of the Kleetloii In
Convenient Form.
CHICAGO , Nov. 4. The returns from the
entire country , although Incomplete In some
states , arq of a nature to Insure the election
of William McKlnley. A sufficient number
of states have declared for the republican
party to make certain 2C1 votes In the elec
toral college for Its leader. The states whose
votes are sure for him are. as follows : Elec
toral votes California , 9 ; Connecticut , 6 ;
Delaware. 3 ; Illinois , 24rindlana , 15 ; Iowa.
13 ; Maine. G ; Maryland , S ; Massachusetts
15 ; Michigan , 14 ; Minnesota. 9 ; New Hamp
shire. 4 ; New Jersey , 10 ; New York , 30 ;
North Dakota , 3 ; Ohio. 23 ; Oregon , 4 ; Penn-
eylvanla , 32 ; Rhode Island. 4 ; South Dakota ,
4 ; Vermont , 4 ; West Virginia. C ; Wlsconeln ,
12. Total. 264.
The returns show some Interesting fea
tures , and In some respects have been a sur
prise to the leaders of both political parties.
The New England stattti have , as was ex
pected , given heavy pluralities for McKln
ley. without exception. The republican ticket
wa § successful In Massachusetts beyond
what was claimed for It by the most en
thusiastic prophet of republican success.
New York and Pennsylvania vied with each
other for the largest plurality and the figures
ot hand do not Indicate which of them has
surpassed the other. Kach state has Riven
tlio republican candidate a plurality of be
tween 275,000 and 2SO.OOO.
To thccc states Illinois is a good third In
its plurality for the winning candidate. It
the percentage of gain over the presidential
election of 1S92 that has so far Ufen shown
continues to the end It will give a plurality
of not far from 175,000. In the gubernatorial
race Altgeld has been badly defeated , but Is
not burled BO deep and Is probably about
CO.OOO ahead of the democratic national
ticket. There has been evidently a large
vote cast throughout the state for McKln
ley and Altgold.
JONES' CLAIMS NOT JUSTIFIED.
In Indiana , If any of the rules for esti
mating the vote of a state which prevloua
to tbo present election held good are still
to be relied upon , there. Is no justification
for the democratic claims of having carried
tbo state , If the ratio of republican gain
continues to the end of the count. McKlnley
ivlll have approximately 20,000 plurality In
the elate.
In Iowa , at far as can bo seen from thr
returns at present , the republican plurality
tias been very large not far either way from
75.000. (
Ohio , which has all along been claimed by
Chairman Joura as a state In which Bryan
wovld push McKlnley very close , has given
the republican candidate an overwhelming
plurality.
In Michigan the olectlou has resulted In a
Very heavily reduced vote ( or the republican
ticket. The free silver papers of Detroit
concede the state to McKlnley by 25.000.
The last previous vote In the state was In
1S95. when Moore , the republican candidate
for juitlco of the supreme court , had a
plurality of 71.4S7 over McGrath. his demo
cratic rival.
West Virginia Is confidently claimed by
the republicans , and the chairman of the
democratic state central committee this
evening conccJcd the state to McKlnley.
Tennessee- presents some of the InterestIng -
Ing features of the campaign. Patterson ,
the democratic candidate- congress In the
city of Memphis. Is running neck and neck
with his opponent , and the , official count
will be necessary to decide between them.
The state at large Is claimed by both par-
tics , and because of the length of the ticket
the returns are coming In so slowly that
neither side seems entirely justified In
claiming the electoral vote with any con
fidence.
North Carolina Is claimed by both par
ties , but , as In Tennessee , the returns are
very slow , and no definite conclusion Is pos
sible at present.
South Carolina. Georgia , Mississippi , Ala
bama and Louisiana arc all for Bryan by
about the normal democratic majorities. The
Virginia electors will without question be
for Bryan , but they have been elected by a
heavily reduced democratic vote. The re
publicans have abandoned all hope of Texas
and the state U conceded to Bryan. The
fusion between the populists and the repub
licans In that state did not prove a success.
NEBRASKA ON THE WRONG SIDE.
Nebraska has gone for Bryan , notwith
standing the republican hopes , but Kansas
has as yet said practically nothing. The re
turns show democratic gains In some dis
tricts , and these are offset by republican
gains In other parts of the state. Both
parties claim the state , but the few scatter
ing district returns that arc In co far are
of so Indefinite a nature as to make any
claims , no matter by whom made , of a very
uncertain character :
Wisconsin Is sure for the republican col
umn by an enormous plurality. Mlnnesola ,
which was regarded as doubtful by both
parties , has surprised everybody by the size
of the republican plurality , and McKlnley
will have approximately 30,000 to 40.000
morn votes In the state than Bryan. Gov-
ernon Clough , whose election was consid
ered doubtful. Is certainly elected. The lat
est Information from the two Dakotas shows
that North Dakota Is very sure for McKln
ley and the probability Is that South Dakota
will be found In the same column , although
the result Is clone. The republicans claim
Wyoming and Washington , but the proba
bilities bcem against them In both states.
Oregon has gone for McKlnley , and Col
orado has. as was expected , given Bryan a
heavy plurality and Adams , without doubt ,
has been elected governor. The Interest In
the election In this state centered In the
state tickets , of which there were several ,
representing a great variety of Interests
Idaho , Montana , I'tah and Nevada have al
gone for Bryan by heavy majorities. Cali
fornia has. on the strength of the returns at
hand , undoubtedly gone for McKlnley. giving
him a plurality of 0.947. One half of the
precincts , outside of San Francisco , show
a democratic gain of sixty-one votes , showIng -
Ing that the democratic reliance upon the
heavy support of the rural districts was no1
entirely warranted.
Delaware , where thd republican party has
been rent In twain because of the Addlcks-
Hlggln'e fight , has kept In the republican
column. The vote for the republican elec
tors In thin elate has been unusually large
showing the factional dispute did not ex
tend In any great measure to the nattona
ticket. The vote of Maryland has shown an
Interesting reversal of thei last president ! *
election , when Cleveland carried the state
by a plurality of 21.1.10 , and this year Me
Kloley has a plurality of ellghtly over
21.000 In the city of Baltimore alone.

The republican concessional commlttet

tricts arc safely republican. At the demo
cratic headquarters It Is claimed unofllcl-
ally the republican majority In the ncxl
house will not be more than fourteen.
At republican and democratic congres
sional headquarters tonight the chairmen
have been figuring on the complexion of the
next house. Chairman Habcock says he has
complete reports from 193 congressional dis
tricts which have elected republicans ; that
there are 135 districts that have elected dem
ocrats and populists and twenty-tight die
trlcts In which the returns are Incomplete
These may all be classed as doubtful , he
says , with the prospect that the republlcane
will eccure at least one-half of them , whlcl
would make a total republican membership
of this congress of 257. He claims that ua
der no circumstances will the republican
membership fall below 200.
Senator Faulkner , chairman of the-demo
cratlc committee , although he does not
concede the republicans a majority In the
next house , gives them 17C , within three of
a majority. His statement makes toe fol
lowing division of forces : Total republican
170 ; total democratic and silver , 1CS : doubt'

republicans had 241 : democrats and silver
had 112. His figures show a democratic ant

They were well supplied "with tin horns

stated that Chief of Police Badenoch had
been consulted over the telephone ; that he
was told that this was an Impromptu parade ,
and had given verbal permission that a pa

numerous telegrams from all parts ot the
country :
"The democratic national committee
claims enough states to give a majority In
the electoral college , but the vote Is very

cannot be positively known until the entire

wise for both sides to watch the returns to
guard against the possibility ot mistake. In

Mr Bryan dictated this statement to a

more to the public , he. declined to talk
saying ho could not plvb utterance to his
thoughts as to the result , or outline his
future course , until the. outcome should be
definitely known.
Ho read all bulletins with Interest , but
in reply to questions said he was not nl-

least degree of worry. He was especially
gratified at the result In Nebraska and took
occasion to earnestly congratulate the chair

DEVELOPS INTO A MURDER
Tames NcGuire Dies from What Was
Thought a Trifline Wound.
WAS THE RESULT OF A POLITICAL QUARREL
Victim Sii | > poned to He Suffering
Chiefly from Intoxication When
Taken to tin * Station VH-
nllunt Under Arrcnt.
Campbell Is a prisoner at the
pollco station , charges ! with murder.
Campbell Is a colored man , 2S years of age , j
and Is a cow-puncher In the employ of Lob-
man & Rothschilds at the Union Stock
yards , South Omaha. In company with Fos
ter Lewis , another colored man , a porter
at the Mlllard , Campbell became entangled
In a political wrangle with throe young
rccn at the corner of Twelfth and Douglas
streets , Tuesday night , and striking one of
them across the face with a small bellows
to which was attached a couple of tin
horns , ho killed him.
The murdered man was James McGulro ,
an employe of the Union Pacific shops , and
IS years of age. He resided with his par
ents at Twenty-fifth and Blonde streets.
With McGulro at the tlmo were two other
joutha , Slefred Wadum and Henry Castle-
ton.
ton.All the parties Implicated tell the same
story.
The three boys were walking down Doug
las street , shouting for Bryan , and at the
corner of Twelfth they were approached
by Campbell and Lewis. The latter walked
up to McGulro and asked him what he meant
by shouting at him. McGuIre eald ho was
attending to his own business. Lewis
then said If he repeated the names ho had
applied to him he'd take a slash at him , at
the same time drawing a knife. McGulre
told him If he would put the knife In his
pocket ho would punch his head. Lewis
said he meant exactly what he said. If Mc-
Oulro shouted at him again he'd use his
knife. McGulro reiterated that he had been
shouting for Bryan and nobody else , and
that If Lewis would put up his knlfo he
would take a fall out of him.
WAS WILLING TO FIGHT.
At this Juncture Campbell stepped up and
said , "Ma ) bo you can whip me. too. "
McGulro said ho could , and Campbell
grasped him by the coat collar , then struck
him across the right temple with the bel
lows.
The blow was not a particularly hard one ,
but It knocked McGulre down. Ho fell
head foremost Into the gutter and Campbell
and Lewis turned and walked leisurely on
down Douglas street , neither man dreaming
that a fatal blow had been struck.
Wadum and Custleton attempted to pull
McGulro to his feet , but noticing that he
was unconscious , steadied him back against
the curbstone and Into a sitting position. A
policeman happened by at this time , and
thinking McGuire was drunk , called the
wagon acd bad him taken to the station.
Ho was not thought to h badly hurt , but
alarming symptoms developed after 3 o'clock
yesterday morning , and an hour later he
died.
Foster Lewis was the roan who was first
suspected of committing the homicide , and
w s arrested at 7 o'clock yesterday morn-
Inc. when he told his story , and
officers" " were dUpalched to South
Omaha , to locate Campbell. They found him
at. workaUthc BtocU yards , little dreaming
of the plight" he had gotten himself Into.
When told that McOuIre was dead ho was
greatly shocked , and was at a loss to know
how It could be. Ho at once admitted that
ho struck McGulre. lie said the blow was a
light one and the weapon be used
was a mere toy. He said the mat
ter occasioned no worry , In fact
he did not think of It again ,
and he continued on down to 1214 Chicago
street.where he went to bed. Yesterday morn-
Ing1 , after breakfast , he went to South
Omaha and to work , never thinking
for a moment of the serious situation In
which he was soon to be placed. Ho ex
pressed deep regret that his thoughtless
ectlon had caused the boy's death , and said
that It could not have been the blow , but
the fall , that killed him. In talking with
Campbell at the station yesterday morning
Wadum said that he had never been In
trouble before , save once , when Officer Hud
son arrested him on a charge of stealing a
cow.
cow.The remains of James McGulre were re
moved to the morgue early yesterday morn
ing and Coroner Burkct and Dr. Towne
'
bo'th made an examination of the wound In
the head which caused his death. The blow
with the bellows was delivered directly above
the car , and was evidently Inflicted with the
edge of the apparatus. The scalp was cut
and It was from this abrasion that consid
erable blood flowed at the time McGulre ar
rived at the station. It was found that the
skull had been fractured.
HOW TUB BOY FELL.
It was thought by the police at first that
McGuire's death was more largely due to
the fall upon the hard pavement after he had
been struck than to the blow itself. This
theory , however. Is disproved by the state
ments of Harry Castleton , who declares that
McGulre fell to the sidewalk on his knees
and then rolled Into the gutter. Castleton
and Wadum both say that McGuire had been
drinking heavily during the night , but was
able to walk without assistance. McGulre
was once arrested for being implicated In a
highway robbery which occurred on North
Twenty-fourth street , but was discharged
after trial.
Campbell still maintains his Innocence of
an attempt to commit murder , and says
"he only Intended to smash McGulre for
trying to get ? ay. " When asked what ha ,
had done with the bellows Campbell said he
had taken them to the house at 1214 Chicago
street , and as they were badly battered the
Swan woman burned them In the kitchen
stove. Campbell and Lewis were transferred
to the county Jail at noon yesterday , and
later , upon suggestion of Chief Slgwart.
Campbell was taken by Jailer Shand to Lin
coln for eafe keeping. Lewis will be re
tained as a witness , as It was shown by the
testimony of Castleton and Wadum that he
hail done nothing more than shove McGulre
against a bill board and make a knife play.
The body of McGulre was taken from the
morgue shortly after 4 o'clock last night to
the residence of his parents 2003 North
Twenty-fifth street. An Inquest will be held
this morning at 10 o'clock by Coroner Bur
kct , and the funeral will take place from
Holy Family church Friday morning. In
terment will bo at St. Mary's cemetery.

Although the returns from Nebraska arc
rasmentary and may remain Incomplete for
wo or three days , enough Is known to war-
ant the conclusion that Nebraska has been ,
arrled for Mr. llryan and the fusion state
Icket-by majorities ranging from G.OOO to-
.000. The vote for presidential electors on
jotu the republican and fusion tickets I *
onslflcrably heavier than that given to
andldates for state ofllcea and congress
men. Holcomb will run from 800 to 1,500
owcr than Ilryan , and the candidates on
ho fusion state ticket will not quite reach
ho vote for Holcomb. This Is also true aa
cgards the vote for MacColl and the rppub-
loan state ticket , as compared with the
McKlnley electors.
It Is notable that the republican strong-
lolds. Including Douglas , Lancaster , Gage ,
awnee and Saline counties , have all shown
a very decided falling off , while the demo
cratic and populist counties have not only
icld their own , but In many cases have ex
ceeded their strength of two years ago. Had
ho counties which have heretofore been
reliably republican polled their usual ma-
orllles , McKlnley and the whole republican
; lcket would undoubtedly have carried th
state by handsome majorities , as was an
ticipated by the republican campaign man
agers.
The defections In the republican congres
sional districts will defeat four out of the
six republican candidates for congress ,
Strode and Mercer being the only ones on
that ticket who can read their titles clear.
From the returns thus far received It ii
manifest that the fuilonltts will control
both houses of the state legislature. As
near as can be ascertained the republican *
will have cloven senators and forty-ono
members of the house , while the fuslonlsU
will muster twenty-one senators and fifty-
nine representatives , or nearly a two-third *
majority In each branch of the legislature.
